ACP Physics Training WorkshopIU July 23-24

•Welcome and Introduction

ACP Physics @ IU

•Workshop goals

•Workshop schedule

Course Description P221/ACP•First semester of introductory physics course,•Calculus based, •Designated for physics and science majors, •Focused on basic concepts of classical physics i.e.,

- kinematics - Newtonian dynamics

In P221 students  learn how a simple underlying principle leads to profound

consequences.

Textbook :Fundamentals of Physics, 6th Edition, by Halliday, Resnick, & Walker (HR&W).

P221 @ IU

Syllabus•Introductory material, vector analysis, motion in 1 dimension : Chap 1-3

•Kinematics of motion 2 and 3 dimensions : Chap 4

•Newton's Laws of motion, Force and motion : Chap 5-6

• Work, energy, conservation of energy, systems of particles : Chap 7-9

• Collisions : Chap 10

•Rotation, Rolling, Torque, Angular Momentum, Equilibrium and Elasticity : Chap 11-13

•Gravitation : Chap 14

•Solids and Fluids : Chap 15

• Oscillations, Waves, Sound : Chap 16-18

•Thermodynamics, Temperature, Heat, Kinetic Theory of Gases, Entropy : Chap 19-21

Our goal is to fit this syllabus into your school semester
